Definitely exercise exercise exercise. A tired dog is a happy dog. Jackson never has gone "crazy" with zoomies at night but he will drive me crazy all evening if under exercised. He gets extra whiny and bored. He needs at LEAST an hour walk per day. On top of that, we do fetch in our front yard for about 10 minutes, then playing with toys indoors for 10-20 minutes then trick training once a day for 10 minutes minimum. If he doesn't get a walk, we do the dog park for a few hours and every weekend we visit my dads house with fenced in yard and their two dogs. I'm pretty sure he'd drive me nuts if he was in the house w/o any outdoor activity for longer than, like, 3 days. On a few of our bad winter storm days, luckily he's pretty content to chill around the house on days like that but I play fetch up/down the stairs so it wears him out more!
